| Summary |
"ABC of Domestic and Sexual Violence is a practical guide for all health care professionals who are looking after abused individuals (whether knowingly or not) and who wish to learn more in order to help their patients. It employs a positive and practical approach, deemphasising simple history taking skills and clinical 'tips' and pitfalls to help demystify what is often considered a "sensitive" or "difficult" subject area"--Provided by publisher. |
